Three Month Photos

On Sunday December 21^st we had Lucas’ three month photos taken with Melanie of Simply MellaPhotography. We had done a mini-session with her back in October with Sarah and C so when the opportunity arose for us to shoot with her again I didn’t want to pass it up.

I met Melanie at Smolak Farms in Andover on what ended up being a very cold, wet and muddy afternoon. Because it was so close to Christmas the farm was hosting an “American Girl Brunch” with Mrs. Claus and also photos with Santa. Melanie, Lucas and I traipsed around the farm taking photos in the barn, with the Christmas trees, in the snow … everywhere she could think of.

Sarah had warned me that the three month photos are a little “disappointing”, not because they aren’t spectacular but because Lucas wouldn’t be able to do much sitting or posing on his own. Most of the pictures Melanie took were of him either laying down or propped up in a chair. However, my favorite shot (and the one we ultimately used for our New Year’s card) is one where Lucas is kneeling inside a wooden box in front of a Christmas tree.

She posted “sneak-peeks” for us just a few days after and I was immediately in love with every single photo. I truly couldn’t have picked which one I liked best. She is going to be sending the CD along in the mail soon so I’m sure I’ll be spending hours scouring those too!

Here are a few of our little man:
